Sunday Market at this street has been open since
eight years ago. At that time just a few sellers who trade in this place but
nowadays there is hundreds sellers who trade in this place every Sunday. They
occupy pedestrian along this street about two kilo meters. Some of them just put their merchandise on
the pedestrian, but some of them use the tent. This market usually open from
06.00 AM until 11.00 AM. Mostly merchandise sells at this Sunday Market
are domestic needs such as clothes, household appliances, electronic equipment,
children's toys, food and daily
necessities.
Actually,
those who trade in this place basically are not pure trader. They are workers or
housewife who seeking for additional income. Therefore, they only trade on the
Sunday. For example, Hadi, one of
wallet's seller in this place said that from Monday to Friday he work at
a company office at Central Jakarta. However, on Sunday he trade in this place
to seek additional income. Hadi said
that he has been trade in this place for two years and he got enough money from
his side jobs.
However,
Nuri one buyer said she is happy to shop at this place because the price
is relatively cheaper that the prices in stores or traditional markets. Besides
the quality of the goods do not disappoint.
She explained, she did not come every Sunday, she just visited this market if there is a need to be purchased.
Although only once a week,
the presence of this market can answer the needs of the community for goods at affordable prices. That's why people always visit this market every Sunday
because this is the place they can get their needs with bargaining prices.
